3 * strlen.S (c) 1995 David Mosberger (davidm@cs.arizona.edu)
4 *
5 * Finds length of a 0-terminated string. Optimized for the
6 * Alpha architecture:
7 *
8 * - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only
9 * - uses bcmpge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
10 * - does binary search to find 0 byte in last
11 * quadword (HAKMEM needed 12 instructions to
12 * do this instead of the 9 instructions that
13 * binary search needs).
